yeah the game is installed but i cant run it coz it sez xlive.dll is missing.
that's coz the xlive setup crashes all the time.
well im about to reinstall Win7 so ill post in an hour or so what i have encountered

Well i just reinstalled windows 7 and did exactly that grim, first thing i installed was games for windwos and it installed fine. I wonder if it was something else that I downloaded that messed it up or if it was the installer that came with fallout 3.

I'm not sure if it was something else that you installed but I had to do the same thing for GTA4, so I would say it has something to do with Games for windows on the install disc that doesn't like windows 7

Ok reinstaling windows 7 fixed the problem.
i could install games for windows with no problems and the fallout 3 instalation went without problems also. The game runs smooth and stable .
So i presume if u have problem with instalin the games for windows reinstallin windows it self could solve the problem. its the only solution i have found so far but if someone has a better option with out the requirement to reinstall windows it might be a better one. tho win7 installs in under 30 mins and with all drivers and stuff i had to install afterward it took me under 1 hour to play the game :)

Fallout 3 refuses to install on my system. The installation displays an error when windows games live tries to install. I tried downloading that software directly from microsoft web site and it refuses to install.
